You Know What?

I don't think it's too much to ask that if I want to listen to music on my iTunes that I shouldn't have to be bombarded with every two bit piece of crap metalcore band's crappy music every time I do research for bios on said bands. Perhaps, just maybe, I can go to a band's website and CHOOSE whether or not I want to listen to their music. Jesus H. Christ.

I hate the fact that if I have to go to myspace to get a bio on a band I have to wait for the player to load so I can shut the damn thing off. I get really annoyed that when I go to official band or label sites, they have some hidden player SOMEWHERE on their stupidly difficult -- and ironic! -- website that blasts the latest sounds from a bunch of dumb kids who still hate mom and dad.

If there is some way that I can run iTunes and shut the damn sound off of Safari (at all times) please let me know. I'm about to strangle the next angry tattooed twentysomething whining about his mom or some girl or god or what-not.

I know you think you're band is going to change the world, and will save your doomed soul from eternal sad-sacked-ness, but... I am trying to listen to some good music. So... Shut UP!

You could install PithHelmet, which lets you turn off Flash in Safari (which in turn means no more annoying MySpace audio players).

Hmm. Listen to the iPod, mute the computer.
